Description
Perhaps I should have clued into this more when c2243739dbd395c5127ead0eb8296fb70dd217e7 went by but we need the ability to control jobs without waiting for them on all job control methods. This is required for coreos-cloudinit which should never call the blocking API since that can result in deadlocks.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing job-control methods and commit c2243739dbd395c5127ead0eb8296fb70dd217e7. Trace how coreos-cloudinit uses them and identify every method that currently waits for completion. Done means job control can be performed without blocking, including the methods needed by coreos-cloudinit, while preserving the existing API behavior.
